Yesterday I went out and about to all my favorite shopping places in San Antonio. First I stopped at Yarnivore in Castle Hills off NW Military Highway. I had never been to Yarnivore, as it opened about four months after I loved. It’s a great store and the girl running the place was really nice. They had a knitting machine in the middle of the shop, which is cool because a lot of times people are like, ew, knitting machines.
I bought some sock yarn:
Panda Cotton, Collinette Jitterbug, and Fannie’s Fingering Weight.
I then went to Alamo Heights and stopped at Nomadic Notions, where I bought some charms, and then I stopped at the Yarn Barn, which has changed ownership and I wasn’t really impressed with their sock yarn selection, which is basically how I judge a store. I did pick up some Regia Surf in yellowy blues and greens. It’s a cotton/wool blend that will make nice socks.
Then I stopped at the Rim, which is a new shopping center just north of La Cantera (a ritzy outdoor shopping mall that boasts a Neiman Marcus and Tiffany’s) and looked at the new Michael’s, which didn’t have anything that the Brentwood Michael’s didn’t have. After that I stopped at Taco Cabana and then at Hobby Lobby.
At Hobby Lobby I got some beads.
Today we went to the outlets at San Marcos and I got some stuff at Bath & Body Works. And an owl bag at the Charlotte Russe outlet:
Then when we were going down I-35, we saw a different Hobby Lobby (in Selma) and we stopped there and Julie got some stuff and I got some more beads, but also in the same shopping center was a new beads store called Beads 2 Go, and I got some awesome beads there…
Tomorrow I am staying at the apartment and putzing around watching tv, and then Julie and I are going downtown to the Mercado and out to dinner at County Line.
Mmm, County Line.
